I noticed that building materials disappear as you progress through the game, reflecting scavenging going on by others. I also noticed that since the patch this happens VERY quickly. It seems that by even turn 3 or 4 the amounts of materials available for scavenge drop dramatically. The last play through I did, by turn six about 2/3 of the piles of junk I checked turned up nothing. Is this supposed to be like this?
One other question - does scavenging still happen if there is not another character on that map? I know there are only one or two locations where there isn't another character, but if those sites don't suffer from scavenging then it might be smart to leave them until later in the game.
Thanks,
Adam
